Make a précis of the given passage in about one-third of its original length. Supply a suitable title: The ‘media’ is the fourth estate in a democracy. People form the government by handing over their mandate. The media determines the quality of the governance and set the agenda for governance. Media has rightly been described as ‘Vox Populi’, voice of the people. With internet having been added as an organ of the media, the media has demolished the confines of border lines. The globalization of media has made the role of media multi-dimensional. Apart from carrying the news to the public, it brings enlightenment to the public too.

It cannot be denied that no one is above law and therefore, mass media should not be allowed to go unchecked. Freedom of speech and expression enshrined in article 19 (1) of the Indian Constitution is restricted by Article 19(2) in the interest of, inter alia sovereignty and integrity of the country. Apart from restriction of speech the Constitution of India guarantees the fundamental right to privacy under Article 21 of the Constitution. Over-activism of the media is hindrance to citizen’s right to privacy and right to life. There is no doubt that right to privacy is an essential ingredient of personal liberty. In their various observations the courts have drawn the attention of media in the following words “abysmal levels to which the norms of journalism have drifted.” In another case they blamed the media interfering with the admistration of justice.
